Bangkok bar blaze exposes safety loophole outside entertainment zones

Bangkok's Rong Beer Na Ladprao pub fire killed at least 32, echoing past Thai nightclub tragedies with crowded venues, rapid flames, thick smoke and blocked exits; investigators suspect an electrical fault igniting flammable insulation, spreading quickly. After the 2009 Santika Club fire, safety rules were tightened but only for venues inside designated entertainment zones, leaving thousands of pubs outside them unregulated. The Bangkok governor has pledged random inspections and stricter standards for such venues, but enforcement and corruption concerns threaten real reform.
